Malayer Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 155 × 105 cm, Wool

About this rug

This Malayer comes from Iran and measures 155 × 105 cm. That is roughly 1.63 m² of floor, about 5.1' × 3.4'.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 5 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

Colour and appearance

The stated colourway is blue / Türkis. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Period

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
